Sounds good. I’m looking forward to the recording being put up on this site 🙂
Eric Massa, Phillip Dampier, and possibly even Ben Scott , are my heroes.
Mine too! Especially if they can help make the good ol’ US of A home of the brave and bestest fastest broadband!
I hope members of the house and senate will listen in. While an audio of the call will be provided there is nothing better then hearing the voices and emotions first hand. Recordings are to easy to skip through.
*WHY* does this conference require me to disclose my full first & last name, company, phone and email address? I don’t know who’s hosting this conference, therefore I have no idea if I can trust them or not.
The conference call was hosted by Free Press. The reason they ask for that information is the assumption people calling in are reporters, and since Free Press is paying for the whole thing, they’d like to know who is participating. It’s very standard practice for these things. Some conference call providers stream the call for ordinary consumers and others to listen in who do not intend to ask questions, but that wasn’t an option here.
The audio is now up here.
